Bio
Three Sixty Three No More -- is simple. That's how much I weigh at the start of this journal. I am never going to weigh this much ever again. This is my journey. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I have a feeling at the beginning, it's going to be ugly. Very very ugly.

Where Have I Been...

Typically when I go underground bad things happen.  I isolate, eat, and rationalize my behavior.  Not this time.  This time I have been grounded and way more focused.  I have lost a total of 72 pounds as of this morning.

It's been tough and a journey -- and I still have long/… Read full post »

Epiphany

Most people would rather be right than happy.

I am consciously choosing happiness.

I read the above in the title on another person's blog that I am not going to link as I am trying to live my life as drama free as possible. (Nothing's worse than two fat people cat fighting -- trust me on that.)

My response to the statement/… Read full post »
Then I wouldn't be battling this whole food thing.
In the long run = good.

Short term : hard.as.hell
Boy was I wrong.

Right now  I am reading "It will never happen to me" by Claudia Black.  In a word, this book is intense, real, and it's what I needed to read.  The author has this amazing quote:

I am reading this today....

This is probably one of the hands down most interesting books I think I have read in a very very long time. I loved it so much I sent it to my Cousin in the hopes that we can read it and talk about what we found inspiring and what we/… Read full post »
My black and white thinking has come back to haunt me I think.  What prompted me to get from here to there or there to here was my inability to do anything small.  I am not sure how that happened or where or who I might have inherited that from.  I… Read full post »

When we reach bottom

Those of us like me who have an eating disorder often times even when we receive, realize, and grasp the meaning of our disease or diagnosis have to hit rock bottom like all addicts before us before we can get better.

Sometimes it comes in the form of a health scare.…

I see it's been almost three months since my last post. God I feel like a bad Catholic- Father forgive me it's been 765467 years since my last confession.

So what have I been doing. Jaw surgery - 2 of them. Ugh. And that should help with weight loss right? Well… Read full post »

When the scale moves down...

It's kind of like the sun -- I have a sense of well being.  I knew something was up yesterday when at the end of the day my ankles were not horribly swollen. It didn't hurt horribly to ambulate this morning when I woke up.  As much as I didn't want… Read full post »

So..,,

I stayed on my food plan and it wasn't so bad.
Oh how I am practicing avoidance.  There I said.  Now I can breathe.  I have been putting off coming here to write for a very long time.

October 10th, 2010 to be exact.

I wish I had something snarky, profound, or witty to say.  I don't.

The bottom line is I am a coward. …

Nobody.

"Nobody has ever tilted my head up and looked me in the eyes when I’m emotionally raw and told me I’m beautiful.â€

I now realize why I am fat.

So emotional...

Emotions.  Emotional.  Eeeemowshawnaul. Emo. Emo. Emo.

God that's me today.

I am seeing a pattern. It's maddening and ridiculous.  Right now I feel like I am a ball of yarn that's snarled and tangled and I am trying to "undo" the knots and straighten it all out and I just can't.  No…

July -- Really?

As I slink back here rather sheepishly I see that July is really here, and I haven't posted since the third week of May.

I Can Hear Myself Think...

I have a 7 AM dental appointment. I am getting a crown as my bottom tooth broke. I have been dreading this appointment for weeks. The good news -- I see an ass kick of a dentist who is damn awesome. They mill their own crowns so I won't have to…

It's Begun...

Intake is complete. The paperwork is done. Insurance approved. Real therapy has begun.

The kind of therapy I am doing is called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT. The definition of Dialectical thinking is that two opposite ideas can be true at the same time. There is always more…

The Short Bus Of Food....

If there was a short bus for people like me with food issues I'd be on it for sure. Today is therapy and treatment and I am dreading it. Bad food week. But that's why I'm going right? If everything was perfect and great I wouldn't be where I am today.

It's really not about the weight.



"Imagine not being frightened by any feeling. Imagine knowing that nothing will destroy you. That you are beyond any feeling, any state. Bigger than. Vaster than. That there is no reason to use drugs (in my case food as a drug) because anything a drug could do would pale in comparison/…
